An adaptive QoS management mechanism is also proposed. By obtaining received signal strength parameters, the proposed MIH framework can determine the best available network. The adaptive QoS mechanism substantially improves the performance of real-time multimedia applications. The simulation results show that average handover time is slower than both UMTS and WiMAX when the MIH mechanism is used in vehicular network. However, the simulation results confirm that using the IEEE 802.21 MIH mechanism can increase overall throughput. Increased throughput is satisfactory compensation for increased handover time.","PeriodicalId":422191,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International ICST Conference on Communications and Networking in China","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115284061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The comfort application drives the challenges of new non-emergency entertainments for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). The comfort application usually keeps the delay-tolerant capability; that is, messages initiated from a specific vehicle at time t can be delivered through VANETs to some vehicles within a given constrained delay time λ. In this paper, we investigate a new mobicast protocol to support comfort applications for a highway scenario in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). All vehicles located in a geographic zone (denoted as zone of relevance, ZOR) at time t, the mobicast routing is to disseminate the data message initiated from a specific vehicle to all vehicles which have ever appeared in ZOR at time t. This data dissemination must be done before time t + λ through the carry-and-forward technique. In addition, the temporary network fragmentation problem is considered in our protocol design. In addition, the low degree of channel utilization is kept to reserve the resource for safety applications. To illustrate the performance achievement, simulation results are examined in terms of message overhead, dissemination successful rate, and accumulative packet delivery delay.","PeriodicalId":422191,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International ICST Conference on Communications and Networking in China","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128090396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bits are allocated to achieve the same error probability in each of the used subcarriers. However, in channels with a high difference in attenuation like access Power Line Communications (PLC) channels, this could result in overallocation for parts of the subcarriers, which is unreasonable in practice but is neglected during the bit allocation in the algorithm. Furthermore, after defining the upper boundary of constellation, the bit allocation is changed and then the method of flat power allocation generates a bad error probability. In this paper, we present an improved Fischer-Huber loading algorithm for access PLC channels with high attenuation variability. By adding constellation limitations and adjusting the power allocation policy, the improved algorithm appears more flexible. Simulation results show the improved performance.","PeriodicalId":422191,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International ICST Conference on Communications and Networking in China","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123863495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this system, efficient and reliable network selection schemes are required for users to choose a suitable network among all the available networks. In this paper, an adaptive network selection algorithm based on user profile and application profile is proposed for a cellular and WLAN integrated heterogeneous scenario. In the novel algorithm, user profile information, including user mobility, the power of user terminal, the service cost preference, etc., and the characteristics of user applications are taken into account in designing the cost function factors and the corresponding weights of the network selection algorithm. Comparing to traditional fixed-form cost function based network selection algorithms, the proposed algorithm offers better QoS guarantee and user satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":422191,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International ICST Conference on Communications and Networking in China","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116780666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other side, TD-SCDMA (time division-synchronous code division multiple access), which combines all the advantage of the TDD (time-division deplex) with CDMA (code-division multiple access), is one of the three main standards of third-generation mobile radio system, and is newly commer-cialized in China. It is expected to provide enough mobility and higher data rate. So the study of the integration between WLAN and TD-SCDMA will be attractive. In this paper, we propose an efficient joint session admission control scheme that maximize overall network revenue with Qos (quality of service) constraints over both the WLAN and the TD-SCDMA cellular networks. Simulation results illustrate that the overall network revenue earned in the proposed scheme is significant larger than that when the individual networks are optimized independently.","PeriodicalId":422191,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International ICST Conference on Communications and Networking in China","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116904308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
